---+ How to Create a Protocol

---++ Tips for Design

 You should generally organize a protocol to have sections that are relevant from this list:
   * Supplies (materials, strains, primers)
   * Step-by-step instructions for each step
   * Expected results
   * Common problems and troubleshooting
   * Spreadsheets for calculations

Include instructions that reference specific reagents (strains, primers, etc.) for performing *positive* and *negative* control reactions. This can be used to diagnose bad reagents or a problem with carrying out the protocol versus a problem with applying it in a specific case.

These protocols are public, so don't post passwords or protected information. Use the [[InternalList][internal Barrick Lab web pages]] for that.

---++ How to Add Images

   1 Click the "attach" ink at the bottom of your protocol page
   1 Choose your image file:
      * It's best to avoid spaces in the file name. Use underscores instead.
      * Under "Properties" check the box called "Create a link to the attached file."
   1 After you click "Upload file" your image will appear at the bottom of the page after a bullet point.
   1 Now edit the page and move the =<img>= tag to where you want it displayed in the page.

Will add some specific tags to make formatting references and contributors easier...
